The article discusses biological mechanisms in the onset of fluorosis due to the use of fluoride. The authors suggest that increases in fluorosis could affect the use of fluorides to prevent dental caries. They discuss how studies indicate fluoride increases apatite nucleation and apatite crystal growth and inhibits the removal of amelogenin proteins during dental enamel growth. Research on how ameloblasts affect the mineralization of dental enamel is also noted. The reduction of zone refinement, in which apatite crystal formation is improved, due to fluoride dosage, resulting in problems regarding the growth of dental enamel, is considered. |
